Hi,

Yes, Depo injections cause milky discharge sometimes which sometimes correlation with cessation of periods. If there is increased secretion we need to have a gynecologist consultation. To check hormonal levels of prolactin. Milk secretion in non pregnant women is called galactorrhea. No need to worry much.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
